“My only complaint is that the lone worker today, when I was paying with a credit card (without tap) took my card and tried to use tap. Before she took my card I was going to put it into the card processor. When I pointed out that it doesn’t have tap, she (2x’s) typed my card information into the register screen and it was declined (plenty of credit was available because I got gas with it shortly after). I then used my debit card which she just took from me and again tried to use tap (again not a feature on that card either). She was finally able to put my card information for the debit card and it went through. If she had let me put my card in in the first place there would have been no problem with the original transaction attempt. I feel some of the staff might need better/more training on using the register.”

“Really good food and service. Falafel and garlic is sauce is out of this world.”
“Home of arguably the best wings on planet Earth… and this is coming from a wing snob. The wings are consistently a general size, and always incredibly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The K-Ramen is nice and spicy and delicious! Michin dumplings are a go to dish. The bulgogi and bibimbap and perfectly seasoned, and very tender.”
“The traditional Italian sub ("#1") was reviewed as the best sub in New Jersey, and I completely agree, except for the fact that their #4 sub (hot prosciutto) might be even better. The folks there are already. Be aware, cash only. There is a small parking lot behind the building with a very narrow driveway and an onto Fairmount St, so maybe it's better to come in from that direction.”
“was delicious good portion price is right”
“When in Hackensack and craving Thai, this spot is worth the visit. Dishes are fresh, we ordered the calamari, pad Thai w shrimp, Panang w chicken, drunken noodles w beef and mango sticky rice for dessert. Yum another authentic Thai place for Asian comfort food. So good.”

“We had a 40th Birthday Party in the private room on Saturday night. It was absolutely fantastic. The room is beautiful ,they had it set up as we discussed. The service was exemplary. FOOD was amazing. We have been enjoying Forte since they opened. I would highly recommend this venue for any private party.”
“I live in NYC, and every single time I come to Hackensack, this is always my favorite go-to Mexican Restaurant! I appreciate the authenticity of their food in its taste, presentation, and quality — it literally tastes like I’m eating a home cooked meal my mom would make. I recommend getting the al pastor tacos and chicken sizzling fajitas (both filling and you get your money’s worth!)”

“Small restaurant but amazing flavor. As a Salvadoran, I have never had pupusas better than my mom’s even when I visit El Salvador. This place however, has PERFECTLY seasoned fillings, amazing curtido and salsa pairings, and excellent quality. Authentic, high quality, delicious pupusas !”
“What a fantastic place with a WONDERFUL OWNER! Johnny is fantastic, makes upgrades as needed and conducts business the way a business should! The chicken is magical -- or Johnny deserves the credit -- ???”

“You can always trust in Burger King, food tastes better than other chains, fries are more natural and meat is really meat. I like all the options available and Whopper is an all time classic. One of my favorite chains when hamburgers are about.
Kid-friendliness: Crowns are always available and kids meals are a great option.”
“I read the reviews before going, honestly some of them turned me off. However, when I went I was greeted by the nicest young lady ever and the service and food was fantastic. I would recommend The Coachdiner to anyone. The place is beautiful and the staff and food is amazing. Thanks Kim and Keisha, we are coming back”
“It's a fast food restaurant. Many fixtures have been upgraded since I visited last. One can order at the kiosk and skip waiting in line to order, pay. One can also see what the pictures while making selections. Big help in ordering!
Bathroom is locked, need to inquire at the counter to have the door open for you.
Not too many parking spaces but they do have drive through.
I had a big breakfast which is more expensive and less food than my last visit. Will try other selections on my next trip here.”
“This is the most consistent McDonald’s I have ever frequented. The food remains at the highest standard for McDonalds: very hot, very fresh, they never mess up my order, and everything is on time and never sloppy. The best mcdonalds I’ve been to literally ever.”
“I recommend everything. The atmosphere is comfortable. The food is awesome. The desserts are home made and delicious. The staff are very friendly. The price is right and the portion sizes are great.”

Takeout Restaurants
“Perfectly executed. I enjoyed the wings and chicken sandwich. I’m looking forward to coming back and trying the rest of the menu. This little restaurant packs a big punch! Well done!”
“One of the best Pho I've had in Jersey. The beef combo pho is excellent. The tendon is so soft it melts in your mouth. The grilled pork chop was ok. Nothing to write home about. If it came with garlic rice and egg it would be better. Just prepare for a long wait if coming here during busy time. Seems to be a famous place.”
“I’ve been coming to this Deli since I moved to Hackensack in 2014, and I’ve never trusted a deli and the people there as much as I do EVER. A deli is a deli, but everyone here is family.
They never fail in creating the perfect sandwich and they’re always sweet with the best energy. If you love a good classic deli sandwich and hot and cold lunches buffet style like the ones in NYC, this is it !! Best in NJ”
“Good food, atmosphere, and drinks. Their empanada were very good, I like their spicy sauce, but if you are a bit more timid, mix the spicy with the mild for a great spice with a kick.”
“I been to this place three times since it reopened, and I had very good experiences. The person at the front was nice, and explained everything about the menu to me. The chicken sandwich with fries was good, and the chicken tenders with fries were delicious. They seasoned their food really good. I recommend people come here. Thanks for the good experience WingoTogo!!!”
“I go there very often for lunch, and I have never been disappointed. Everything taste amazing, love the chicken cutlet wrap, chopped cheese, and today I tried the chicken over rice. Amazing! Plus the guys are super nice and prices are pretty good. My co-workers tried the wings and breakfast sandwiches and say the taste is excellent. I will definitely recommend, you won't be disappointed either!”
“The food is good. The owners are nice but inflation ruined this restaurant. The Midnight sampler they had was $15 when I first went there. The burger combos were around $11-13. Now the sampler is $27 and the burgers w/ fries are $16. There should be no reason a sandwich (cheesesteak) is $16 and it doesn't come with fries on the side. A plain pizza for $23 is INSANE!! If they lower their prices, this would be a better place to eat at consistently like it was a few years ago.”
“Really nice place to eat everyday, the 10$ meal is just really generous, if you eat a lot this is the place for you. I'm only speaking of 10$ meal. There are more things on the menu. Add a nice costumer service and this place is just great, I just had lunch in Newark, for ... like the same amount of food or less and it cost me 33$, I wish I was near Rancho Deli...”
“The quantity is quite large. Each parathas can be shared with 2 or 3 folks. We had their Aloo , halwa puri and omlete paratha for delivery.
The other day, we came across the restuarant on main street, surprised that it wasn't just a nook in the corner but very decent restuarant.”
“The first time I went to this place I loved it but I came back a few weeks ago and my experience was totally different. The food wasn't that good and the service wasn't that great either but it could just be bad luck at the time. I love that it has a great parking lot.”
“When in Hackensack and craving Thai, this spot is worth the visit. Dishes are fresh, we ordered the calamari, pad Thai w shrimp, Panang w chicken, drunken noodles w beef and mango sticky rice for dessert. Yum another authentic Thai place for Asian comfort food. So good.”
“Best ever healthy place in New Jersey .They have wide variety of healthy fresh juices ,protein shakes ,acai bowls,waffles and smoothies many more. I love this place additionally they also have many natural products.”
“Such a delicious lunch that was so welcoming after a weekend of eating & drinking Shared the pizza with my two cousins as a starter and had the seasonal salad. My only sadness is that this is an hour away from my house that I won’t be able to frequent more often”
“First went here over 30 years ago, food was expensive but good. Is this the same owner as when it was called Cubby's Texas Weiners? That was a much better name, should bring it back.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Thomas took our order in the drive thru. Super efficient. Order was out promptly.
They were out of mac n cheese and Coke Zero BUT we went an hour before close so not holding that against them”
“We ordered spicy chicken sandwich and mas potato with cold soda. Sandwich was fresh and testy. They provide us very good service also. Here you will get one restroom for visitors.”
“Oh boy, hold onto your forks, folks, because I just had the most mind-boggling experience with the Friends Of The Chef weight loss meal prep program! I mean, seriously, my taste buds are in shock while my scale did a whole celebration.First off, let's talk about the weight loss wizardry that happened here. I signed up for delivery on Friday for Sunday, started chowing down on these remixes of my childhood favorites, and BAM! In just four days, I've dropped 4.4 lbs.! I'm over here calculating whether I've actually lost weight or my bathroom scale is just pranking me. Is this sorcery or just some culinary version of a magic show?Now, let's chat about these remixes, shall we? It's like the chef took my beloved comfort foods from back in the day and gave them a snazzy makeover. I'm talking about food glow-ups that would make Cinderella jealous. Tres golpes? Transformed into a low-calorie sensation that tastes like a symphony of flavor explosions. La bandera? It's like the chicken went to culinary school and graduated with honors in being healthier but still lip-smackingly delicious.And the taste, oh dear taste buds, they're doing a conga line of joy! It's like a flavor party in my mouth and everyone's invited. I'm tempted to put on some dancing shoes and do the cha-cha just to express my taste bud's enthusiasm. The taste is so spot-on, I'm half-convinced my abuela must've been secretly hired as a consultant because it's like a teleportation device to my childhood dinner table. It's like they bottled up the nostalgia and sprinkled it on every dish. Seriously, if a meal can induce time-travel-like nostalgia, this is it.But wait, there's more! I'm practically counting the seconds till I can place my order for next week's meals. I'm on the edge of my seat like it's a cliffhanger episode of my favorite TV show. Who needs suspenseful dramas when you've got meal prep excitement?So there you have it, folks. Friends Of The Chef's weight loss meal prep program is the real deal – a journey of flavors, weight loss surprises, and an abuela-approved trip down memory lane. If you're into losing weight while feeling like you're being serenaded by a taste symphony that's straight out of your childhood dreams, this is the meal plan for you. Just remember, this isn't just a meal plan; it's a culinary carnival for your taste buds and a scale shrinker in disguise.”
“The food was great, tastey. But the Tostones should not be made with a waffle fry press. Also, a thigh and a leg does not equal half a chicken. but for Six bucks, these are minor complaints.”
“I'm 67 years old now but when I was 9 years old my mom was a waitress at the Lido. Frank and Ellen were the original owners at the time and I would go to their house and play with their kids. I used to drive the cooks crazy, I'd walk into the kitchen and watch them cook. I used to dance in front of the mirror in the lady's room. I would sit at the bar and bug the bartender for maraschino cherries. Wonderful memories and I'm so glad to see that the Lido is still there serving the same food they did 60 years ago! Family atmosphere, great memories.”
Cheap Eats
“You should come here because they have speciality coffee and drinks, and stay for the vibes and culture. Love the concepts like the "coquito latte" and the whole attention to detail from the paintings and murals on the wall to the stoned floor and the domino table that sits in the middle of it all.”
“I had vanilla latte, hazelnut latte, and raspberry vanilla matcha. All of them were so good!! I had cinnamon scone as well. Also so good! Interior is super cute. My new fav place? The staff was super nice too!!”
“Pretty classic standard pizza it’s not perfect but taste above average the pizza doesn’t flop like a flaccid dick it holds its structure the dough has a good doughy airy texture wile having a crunch to it from the bottom but the crust sometimes is to hard like someone taking the maximum dosage of Tadalafil aka (Cialis) and Sildenafil aka (Viagra); other then that there is a good amount of toppings and flavor profile to the tomato base nice and herby overall 7.8/10”
“Some pieces of dough in breadsticks and pizza crust surprisingly contained sugar, so they tasted sweet. I could understand slightly salty, but sweet??
I always loved Brooklyn Pizza and it's link to the GREAT Grimaldi heritage. You'd never taste sugar at Grimaldi. Hopefully it is a one time spill/fluke.”
“If you grew up in the area you know why….THE CRUMB CAKE…and everything else!”
“A friend surprised us with the best eggplant sandwiches on Italian bread. They were from V&T Salumeria. It was pure perfection and love at first bite. Gotta try it!!”
“The owner & his son run this place! There is another employee that is also amazing! The food is EXCELLENT and the service is EXCEPTIONAL!! I go weekly, I order something different each time. My favorite it the pizza, sampler platter, and the chicken parmesan hero.”
“Amazing halal platters clean great run establishment”
“The food is very good at this place A very quick easy meal”
“Ufff, I loved the food at Nataly's Kitchen... They serve a lot of food, the taste is very delicious, and the girls who serve there are very friendly... I would go back again without thinking about it!”
“Courteous, family run business! Their sauce is made fresh, everyday. And it tastes like it! Wow! I've been to so many different acidy sauce "heartburn" pizzerias, throughout the Bergen County area, and I always need Alkaseltzer, after eating their burned sauced foods. It's terrible, how they reheat and overcook their sauce. But, not this one! This place is the best! By far! Absolutely no heartburn! I have tried many menu items, too. I've been frequently going there, over a year now. Their food is more in the lines of what you'd expect to taste at a fine Italian restaurant. Certainly, not a common pizzeria. Pricing is great, too! This place and the staff of employees, along with the new owner and his kids, deserve every bit of (5) stars! The absolute best around!”
“Excellent Carvel store, they offer so many options for ice cream cakes - all readily available. They also take custom orders if you want a special design or specific image printed on the cake. Service is fast and seating area is clean. Also has a small outdoor area right up front. Seems to be a popular spot as there is usually a line the times I have gone but the line moves quickly. Highly recommend for a quick scoop or ready made cake”
“Great Ecuadorian traditional food. Staff is great. Love going here and will continue. Highly recommend z”
“Thank you for a Fantastic Fathers Day Dinner. Highest Recommendation!!”
“Hoy es nuestro aniversario and nothing better to indulge ourselves!!!-my wife and I had a great time at Rosa Mexico specially with Margaritas and Guacamole made by Kevin Quito at the River side Square Hackensack NJ”
“Owner Just have to change the security guy. He wasn’t even paying attention, I approached to him to ask something, and he told me to move, cause he was watching the tv. U guys need a better security guy. And not being rude, u need a younger security”
“Very involved staff and good food. It’s pricier than regular Chinese food but the portions are larger and the atmosphere is nicer as well! Great for a big group.”
“I had an incredible experience at this restaurant, all thanks to our server, Justin! his energy was infectious and made the whole dining experience feel so welcoming. He was attentive, personable, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Not only did he know the menu inside and out, but he also had great recommendations that made our meal even better. Justin's amazing customer service and positive attitude truly set the tone for a wonderful time. Of course!
I had the pleasure of being served by Justin, and he was absolutely outstanding! From the moment we were seated, his warm and engaging personality made us feel like we were the most important guests in the restaurant. His positive energy was contagious, and it really made the entire dining experience memorable. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and helped us pick out the perfect dishes. Throughout the meal, he was attentive without being overbearing, checking in just the right amount to ensure we had everything we needed. It was clear he genuinely cares about providing exceptional customer service. Justin made the evening special, and I can't wait to return. If you're lucky enough to have him as your server, you're in for a treat! Highly recommend! I’ll definitely be coming back because of him! Highly recommend.”

“I recently visited this restaurant twice, and both experiences were outstanding! ?The first time, my friend and I were served by Alex, who was incredibly friendly and attentive. She took great care to explain the menu, especially since my friend has a peanut allergy, ensuring our selections were safe.
I enjoyed my time so much that I returned on my birthday with another friend. Making reservations was easy, and April, thoughtfully suggested menu items based on our preferences.✨
The food was just as delicious as I remembered. Our salads crispy and that chicken so juicy, and my friend's dinner special was perfectly seasoned. We savored each bite in blissful silence. ?For dessert, I indulged in a warm chocolate brownie topped with vanilla ice cream. My absolute favorite as a chocolate lover!
The atmosphere was fantastic, and I can't wait to return with more friends. Highly recommend!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
